Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Strength development in heptathlon
Get PDFDiplomsko delo obravnava pomen razvoja moči v sedmeroboju, pri katerem uspeh temelji na optimalni pripravi atletinje za sedem različnih atletskih disciplin. Zaradi raznolikosti obremenitev je treba razvijati več različnih oblik moči – eksplozivno in maksimalno moč ter vzdržljivost v moči. V diplomskem delu so predstavljeni fiziološki in nevromišični procesi, ki vplivajo na razvoj moči in prilagoditve, ki so posledica rednega treninga. Predstavljeni so osnovni principi treninga moči, kot so specifičnost, progresija, individualnost in preobremenitev, ter pomen regeneracije in prehrane. V nadaljevanju so opisane metode razvoja moči v sedmeroboju razdeljene po fazah sezone in vrsti moči. Poudarek je na ustrezni izbiri vaj, pravilni tehnični izvedbi in usklajevanju z drugimi trenažnimi vsebinami. Moč je ena izmed ključnih gibalnih sposobnosti sedmeroboja, zato celostno načrtovan trening pomembno prispeva k izboljšanju rezultatov ter zmanjšanju tveganja za poškodbe.This thesis discusses the importance of strength development in the heptathlon, where success is based on the optimal preparation of the athlete for seven different track and field disciplines. Due to the diversity of demands, it is necessary to develop several different types of strength – explosive strength, maximum strength, and strength endurance. In the thesis are presented the physiological and neuromuscular processes that influence strength development and the adaptations that occur as a result of
regular training. Outlined are the basic principles of strength training, such as specificity, progression, individuality, and overload, as well as the importance of recovery and nutrition. Furthermore, methods are described for developing strength in the
heptathlon, categorized by season phases and types of strength. Emphasis is placed on the appropriate selection of exercises, proper technical execution, and coordination with other training components. Strength is one of the key motor abilities in the
heptathlon, and a well-structured training plan significantly contributes to performance improvement and injury risk reduction
The structure and development of reading literacy in the students attending the educational programme for children with mild intellectual disabilities
Get PDFDeveloping reading literacy in students with mild intellectual disabilities (ID) in the adapted programmes with lower educational standards is extremely challenging. While there are similarities and differences between reading literacy in students with and without ID, the gap between the two groups increases with age. Listening (language) comprehension of many students with ID often exceeds reading comprehension; usually even older students fail to achieve the same level of listening and reading comprehension. The explanation of reading difficulties of students with ID includes two basic paradigms. The first one relates to the overall slow cognitive development reflected in the literacy development as well. The latter is slow but it follows the same sequences as in students without ID. The second paradigm highlights structural differences in reading literacy of students with and without ID. It emphasizes different cognitive and linguistic factors responsible for reading difficulties in older readers with ID. Our study has confirmed the two above mentioned aspects with the comparison of the reading literacy in the younger and older students with ID. For this purpose, 61 fifth graders and 70 ninth graders included in the adapted educational programmes participated in the study. Characteristics of the reading literacy of both groups of students with ID were investigated with several multivariate methods and compared afterwards. We gained insight into the reading literacy of students with ID in the two important periods of elementary education (at the end of systematic literacy teaching and at the end of primary school). We upgraded our findings by comparing the results of fifth graders with the standards applicable to the students without ID at the end of systematic literacy teaching. The results show that reading efficiency of the students with ID is based on lower level processes (decoding) much longer, while the roles of decoding and language comprehension change with age similarly to the students without ID. Reading difficulties of students with ID are complex and relate to different factors of reading literacy, among which we highlight phonological awareness, auditory short-term and working memory, vocabulary and linguistic reasoning. It is hard for the students with ID to compensate their reading difficulties due to their problems with transferring knowledge to the new situations and a reduced ability to independently use experiences acquired in reading lessons. The explanation of the structure and development of reading literacy of students with ID represents an important contribution to knowledge in the field of special education and it provides an empirical basis for improving the teaching approaches. Based on the research findings we give different recommendations for teaching reading to children with ID. In addition, we present solutions on how to adapt the reading tests used in our study to detect the best student’s achievements
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
